Many small plants are growing in my yards. Are they native plants that I sprindkled?
As I posted in last fall, I started watering early November 2018 and late rainy season has started after the tragic wild fire (“Butte Camp Fire”). On January 2019 I’ve noticed a couple of unfamiliar plants in my yards (Fig. 1), which should be one of native plants in California central valley pollination seed mix. Here is a list of species in the mix.
| Botanical Name | Common Name |
|---|---|
| Clarkia unguiculata | elegant clarkia |
| Clarkia williamsonii | Fort Miller clarkia |
| Eschscholzia californica | California poppy |
| Grindelia camporum | gumplant |
| Helianthus bolanderi | Bolander’s sunflower |
| Lupinus succulentus | Arroyo lupine |
| Achillea millefolium | yarrow |
| Phacelia californica | phacelia |
| Phacelia ciliatagreat | valley phacelia |
I am pretty sure that plants with compound lance-shaped leaflets (magenta arrows in Fig. 1) are Lupinus sp. More often I could see dicot palnts with purple veins (sky blue arrorws in Fig. 1), which seems to be Clarkia unguiculata.
update: Link of Phacelia ciliatagreat has been corrected. (April 12, 2020).
